Nuclear Armed Countries, Non-Proliferation Treaty and UFOs
What is concerning about nuclear weapons is:
1) high levels of death occur not only in the immediate target area but concentric rings emanating out
2) the uranium half life that lingers for up to 4 billion years
3) the belief that weapons of mass destruction are a deterrent
4) the complicated geopolitics when allies become enemies and potential for attack and destabilisation
5) the costs that populations bear, some the poorest in the world
6) the use of nuclear weapons as power chips in regional power blocs
7) the nuclear club identified as the power elite that others want to join to gain influence and control
8) the desire for more countries to nuclearize in order to scare off potential threats
9) the increase of international bullying given uni polar, bi polar configurations and proxy wars
10) the use of nuclear reactor and concerns of nuclear proliferation used to justify interventions, violent attacks on countries increasing destabilisation.
The nuclear genie, as they say, is out of the bottle. Interestingly, when the first two nuclear weapons were exploded in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the appearance of UFO’s occurred. They have been extensively reported as hovering over nuclear silos and shutting them down. They fly over trouble spots. They represent another aspect of the universal peace story that is not reported but is a significant element that may well stop the madness of nuclear power and the proliferation of nuclear weapons. This whole nuclear race is about the maintenance of power blocs, and in my view, has not maintained peace but maintained the illusion of peace. True peace has nothing to do with scaring enemies or the deterrence philosophy of Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD). It is an extremely dangerous strategy and relies on the perceived sanity that both parties will not risk total annihilation. It does not take into account pathological mental health issues . In addition, there are gamblers and those who cannot read if something is bluff or for real as they chest beat and enjoy the attention. There are wild cards particularly with dictatorial personality types leaning on narcissistic or psychopathic (no empathy). As we are witnessing today leaders who have pathological mindsets are very dangerous as they can start a nuclear war. They may not be able to visualise the reality of a nuclear strike and the knock on ramifications of such a decision.
My only comfort is in the UFO’s that are clearly present. For more information on their presence and what they are doing go to the Citizens Hearing on Extraterrestrials. Refer http://www.citizenhearing.org/ Many of the testimonials have come from the military, a former Defence Minister of Canada, defence contractors, journalists, pilots and many more. The UFO’s who have shutdown nuclear silos appear to be the only barrier between total destruction and moving towards universal peace. It is clear that governments have not been able to work out peace at this point and develop universal values that will formulate a blueprint of peace on this planet. Full disclosure of both sides of this UFO issue needs to take place i.e. benevolent and malevolent ETs and their history on this planet. That is my take on it.
We must in the future move towards total disarmament as we do not have the wisdom to manage it and if we did have this awareness we would never invent it. It mirrors the level of awareness we are currently at as a species. The conflict/war mentality has come from fears, trauma, warfare and the actual and latent violence of human beings, and I would state in particular males. I say this as women, as women are not forming groups to attack other women or men. Women, as child bearers, have intimate awareness of the sanctity of human life, bearing the pain of birth. Even those of us who haven’t had children are emotionally sensitive to the emotional needs of others, we naturally seek to understand. Of course there is a movie/cartoon culture depicting females as physically violent which is against their nature. I understand why they think this is valid as women (like men) try to reconfigure their identity. However, it is really a case of women trying to be like men and viewing this as equality. This notwithstanding, women have to be in roles of governance and militaries to provide a feminine perspective. This rebalances through gender and is actually natures way of maintaining social harmony. The equality of the genders has really nothing to do with politics or even social engineering it is natures way of ensuring hormonally each expresses qualities that compliment the other. This is why often people way they feel whole when in harmony. It is actually love that provides that perception when one is in total acceptance or union. This is the real peace of loving what is as Byron Katie has wisely shared. Moreover, each can see differently which opens up the vista of awareness that on the one hand sees through emotional intelligence and on the other hand sees structure (strategy) and logic. This is the same as the left and right brain functioning together to open insight. Men typically have a modus operandi of suspicion towards other men and the need to scare them from destructive behaviours. They tend to speak with bravado as it seems strong and use words that the other side recognises under the mask of public speeches. They have an instinct for protection and dialogue. Women have the strength of endurance, they have the emotional landscape to look deeper into the psychology of the other and they are relationship oriented. This would change international affairs as women would seek to work on discussion, dialogue and resolution. This comes from genetics and raising children. Women are experts here but this is not acknowledged. Men know the power of women in their own homes but have felt the threat from females as they are able to reach deeper truths. This is not to diminish men but to rather rebalance dispositions that are essential to world peace.
If we are serious (or discerning) about international security we must move towards teaching peace education in schools, learning conflict resolution, international mediation, dialogue, building empathy, reflective listening and personal inquiry to question our negative thinking. We have to be able to look into our illusions, shadow, group think, psychological orientations and unquestioned beliefs that lead into decisions that are disastrous. We have to learn when angry to breath and deal with trapped emotions that manifest in anger, fear and grief. We must not use these emotions to attack others but look within our inner conflict which manifests externally and highlights how we deal with conflict. There is so much work to be done and we haven’t even begun. I am envisaging this peaceful future and I know for some who read my blogs, may find it different, but I believe we have to look at conflict differently and really drive to the essence of unresolved conflict that is potentially violent if unintegrated.
It is really up to those in leadership, the military, industry and the community to decide the type of future we want to envisage and co-create. We can keep using weapons to maintain power and control or we can do the hardest work of peace and nonviolence. If you explore credible UFO information you will learn that there are civilisations in the universe that are completely non-violent. They cannot imagine the reality we live in on this planet. We would be in their eyes a primitive civilisation akin to children playing with matches or finding a gun. The true growth of humanity will come through its facing of pain, facing and questioning our fears, healing emotional wounds from childhood, developing strong and balanced families and communities, learning dialogue and respectful listening, deepening empathy, cultural understanding of diversity, developing inner peace as the goal of life. This is what evolution will look like when we truly commit to a peaceful world.
Yet whilst we focus on conflict we are not able to give our full attention to environmental degradation, systems of economics that are not in harmony with the planet given many are transfixed by the greed of profit motives demanding growth. The imbalance is arising from a separation consciousness that doesn’t see its essential unity. It regards self interest as the primary focus rather than best or shared interest. The egoic consciousness strives to be more rather than ‘loving what is’ as it is. This is a new way of framing reality from a unity perspective. Moreover, we begin to understand that what we focus on expands, that we create our realities due to our focus and we have the power to change the world through changing our thinking and de-escalating our fear which distorts reality. That is why I said the work of peace is the hardest as the focus turns inward not outward. As you can only perceive through your own filter and project out. If those in control are not self aware they will project and make strategic mistakes believing they are fighting for x,y,z when in truth they are responding to fear and special interest not realising they are placing human life and other life forms in danger. Peace as a real focus is required in the current time. UNESCO speaks of a Culture of Peace. This is essential.
Fool’s Gold:
Weapons keep me safe,
Be it a spear, arrow, metal ball, knife, gun, bomb or nuclear deterrence,
Stone age man is in the modern age believi=-ng in insecurity,
Living in a fearful state of nature,
He creates nation states,
A Hobbesian worldview of tooth and claw,
It is survival of the fittest not wisest,
I am more powerful than you he grunts,
To frighten off future attacks brings them on,
He knows not the law of attraction in his folly to fool others,
For the strong man is hiding his weaknesses,
Vulnerabilities must not be seen,
As the emperor has no clothes,
What he resists persists (proliferation),
What he looks at disappears (disarmament),
For he must transmute arms into alms,
Thinking into a feeling a cosmic state,
For s/he becomes complete when balanced in a uni-verse,
There is no balance of power in a mexican standoff,
Or Russian roulette,
There are no walls in truth,
For only the ruins of mutually assured destruction (MAD),
Sits at the negotiation table without real resolutions to his pain,
For the dark lord or evil empire is a myth and spin of children’s stories,
There is only the promise of Gandolf’s magic when it is Midas touch,
A fool’s gold of alchemy,
Discovering the elves of middle kingdom list neither high nor low,
Fairies and pixie dust sprinkles magic on the wind of unicorns,
It is not radioactive but active in sine waves phasing from particle to wave,
For higher consciousness need no weapons or defence as magic happens,
For s/he has lost the need for weapons of mass distraction or re:action,
No arms control, NFT, ABM treaty or AEC in double speak of nuclear disarmament,
For the industrial military is complex and in-bed-ded in corridors of power,
To realise this is the hour of great change,
As we move onto trajectories over the horizon radars,
To see further than belief,
And this is the relief that transcends,
1 minute to midnight.
So here is the nuclear weapons picture right now. We can destroy the planet 4 times over.

Updated: October 2017
At the dawn of the nuclear age, the United States hoped to maintain a monopoly on its new weapon, but the secrets and the technology for making nuclear weapons soon spread. The United States conducted its first nuclear test explosion in July 1945 and dropped two atomic bombs on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945. Just four years later, the Soviet Union conducted its first nuclear test explosion. The United Kingdom (1952), France (1960), and China (1964) followed. Seeking to prevent the nuclear weapon ranks from expanding further, the United States and other like-minded states negotiated the nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT) in 1968 and the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) in 1996.
India, Israel, and Pakistan never signed the NPT and possess nuclear arsenals. Iraq initiated a secret nuclear program under Saddam Hussein before the 1991 Persian Gulf War. North Korea announced its withdrawal from the NPT in January 2003 and has tested nuclear devices since that time. Iran and Libya have pursued secret nuclear activities in violation of the treaty’s terms, and Syria is suspected of having done the same. Still, nuclear nonproliferation successes outnumber failures and dire forecasts decades ago that the world would be home to dozens of states armed with nuclear weapons have not come to pass.
At the time the NPT was concluded, the nuclear stockpiles of both the United States and the Soviet Union/Russia numbered in the tens of thousands. Beginning in the 1970s, U.S. and Soviet/Russian leaders negotiated a series of bilateral arms control agreements and initiatives that limited, and later helped to reduce, the size of their nuclear arsenals. Today, the United States and Russia each deploy more than 1,500 strategic warheads on several hundred bombers and missiles, and are modernizing their nuclear delivery systems.
China, India, and Pakistan are all pursuing new ballistic missile, cruise missile, and sea-based nuclear delivery systems. In addition, Pakistan has lowered the threshold for nuclear weapons use by developing tactical nuclear weapons capabilities to counter perceived Indian conventional military threats. North Korea continues its nuclear pursuits in violation of its earlier denuclearization pledges.
Nuclear-Weapon States:
The nuclear-weapon states (NWS) are the five states—China, France, Russia, United Kingdom, and the United States—officially recognized as possessing nuclear weapons by the NPT. The treaty legitimizes these states’ nuclear arsenals, but establishes they are not supposed to build and maintain such weapons in perpetuity. In 2000, the NWS committed themselves to an “unequivocal undertaking…to accomplish the total elimination of their nuclear arsenals.” Because of the secretive nature with which most governments treat information about their nuclear arsenals, most of the figures below are best estimates of each nuclear-weapon state’s nuclear holdings, including both strategic warheads and lower-yield devices referred to as tactical weapons.
- About 270 total warheads.
- About 300 total warheads.
- September 2017 New START declaration: 1,561 strategic warheads deployed on 501 ICBMs, SLBMs, and strategic bombers.
- The Federation of American Scientists (FAS) estimates: roughly 2,700 non-deployed strategic and deployed and non-deployed tactical warheads. And 2,510 additional warheads awaiting dismantlement.
- About 120 strategic warheads, of which no more than 40 are deployed at sea on a nuclear ballistic missile submarine at any given time. The United Kingdom possesses a total of four ballistic missile submarines.
- Total stockpile is estimated up to 215 warheads.
- September 2017 New START declaration: 1,393 strategic nuclear warheads deployed on 660 ICBMs, SLBMs, and strategic bombers.
- FAS estimates approximately 2,300 non-deployed strategic warheads and roughly 500 deployed and non-deployed tactical warheads.
- In a January 2017 speech, Vice President Joe Biden announced that as of September 30, 2016, the United States possessed 4,018 active and inactive nuclear warheads. (Note: This number does not include warheads awaiting dismantlement.)
- Biden also announced in January 2017 that approximately 2,800 warheads are retired and await dismantlement.
Non-NPT Nuclear Weapons Possessors:
- India, Israel, and Pakistan never joined the NPT and are known to possess nuclear weapons.
- India first tested a nuclear explosive device in 1974. That test spurred Pakistan to ramp up work on its secret nuclear weapons program.
- India and Pakistan both publicly demonstrated their nuclear weapon capabilities with a round of tit-for-tat nuclear tests in May 1998.
- Israel has not publicly conducted a nuclear test, does not admit or deny having nuclear weapons, and states that it will not be the first to introduce nuclear weapons in the Middle East. Nevertheless, Israel is universally believed to possess nuclear arms, although it is unclear exactly how many.
The following arsenal estimates are based on the amount of fissile material—highly enriched uranium and plutonium—that each of the states is estimated to have produced. Fissile material is the key element for making nuclear weapons. India and Israel are believed to use plutonium in their weapons, while Pakistan is thought to use highly enriched uranium.
India: Between 120-130 nuclear warheads.
Israel: An estimated 80 nuclear warheads, with fissile material for up to 200.
Pakistan: Between 130-140 nuclear warheads.
States of Immediate Proliferation Concern:
Prior to the implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, Iran pursued an uranium-enrichment program and other projects that provided it with the capability to produce bomb-grade fissile material and develop nuclear weapons, if it chose to do so. Iran’s uranium enrichment program continues, but it is restricted and monitored by the nuclear deal. In contrast, North Korea has the material to produce a small number of nuclear weapons, announced its withdrawal from the NPT, and tested nuclear devices. Uncertainty persists about how many additional nuclear devices North Korea has assembled beyond those it has tested. In September 2005, Pyongyang “committed to abandoning all nuclear weapons and existing nuclear programs.”
Iran:
- No known weapons or sufficient fissile material stockpiles to build weapons.
- The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the institution charged with verifying that states are not illicitly building nuclear weapons, concluded in 2003 that Iran had undertaken covert nuclear activities to establish the capacity to indigenously produce fissile material.
- July 2015: Iran and six world powers negotiated a long-term agreement to verify and significantly reduce Iran’s capacity to produce material for nuclear weapons.
- As part of this agreement, the IAEA and Iran concluded an investigation into Iran’s past nuclear weapons-related activities. The agency concluded that Iran had an organized program to pursue nuclear weapons prior to 2003. Some of these activities continued through 2009, but there were no indications of weaponization activities taking place after that date.
- Estimated to have enough plutonium for approximately 10 plutonium based warheads as of late 2016.
- North Korea operates its 5-megawatt heavy-water graphite-moderated reactor used to extract plutonium in the past for nuclear warheads on an intermittent basis since August 2013. There has also been activity at North Korea’s reprocessing facililty in 2016, indicating that Pyongyang has likely separated plutonium from the reactor’s spent fuel.
- Unveiled a centrifuge facility in 2010, but unclear if Pyongyang is using the facility to produce highly-enriched uranium for weapons.
- Experts estimate that if North Korea is producing highly-enriched uranium, it could have the material for an additional 4-8 uranium based warheads as of 2015, bringing the total to 14-18 warheads. By 2020, experts estimate that North Korea could have anywhere between 20-100 nuclear warheads based on the rate of its stockpile growth and technological improvements.
- September 2007: Israel conducted an airstrike on what U.S. officials alleged was the construction site of a nuclear research reactor similar to North Korea’s Yongbyon reactor.
- The extent of Syrian-North Korean nuclear cooperation is unclear, but is believed to have begun in 1997.
- Investigations into U.S. claims uncovered traces of undeclared man-made uranium particles at both the site of the destroyed facility and Syria’s declared research reactor.
- Syria has not adequately cooperated with the IAEA to clarify the nature of the destroyed facility and procurement efforts that could be related to a nuclear program.
States That Had Nuclear Weapons or Nuclear Weapons Programs at One Time:
- Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Ukraine inherited nuclear weapons following the Soviet Union’s 1991 collapse, but returned them to Russia and joined the NPT as non-nuclear-weapon states.
- South Africa secretly developed but subsequently dismantled its small number of nuclear warheads and also joined the NPT in 1991.
- Iraq had an active nuclear weapons program prior to the 1991 Persian Gulf War, but was forced to verifiably dismantle it under the supervision of UN inspectors. The U.S.-led March 2003 invasion of Iraq and subsequent capture of Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein definitively ended his regime’s pursuit of nuclear weapons.
- Libya voluntarily renounced its secret nuclear weapons efforts in December 2003.
- Argentina, Brazil, South Korea, and Taiwan also shelved nuclear weapons programs.
